National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a pastoral scene with a wolf on the left and a dog on the right. In the background, there is a water mill, a building with smoke coming out of its chimney, a wooden bridge over a river, and a faint line of hills or trees in the distance. The sky has delicate hues of blue and pale yellow. The artwork has fine and delicate brushstrokes, featuring earthy browns, greens, and muted reds.
